From IM24CA class rule C.7.1.(e): Fairing the keel box area or keel box Delrins is prohibited. The Delrin may be bedded in on optional material and adjusted to fit flush with the underside of the hull.

Looking at the photos below of a  keel box area, we can observe that:

1)   the hull has a fairing: this is NOT ADMITED - NOT LEGAL

2)   the Delrin has a fairing: this is NOT ADMITED -NOT LEGAL

3)   the slot of the screws is filled :  this is NOT ADMITED - NOT LEGAL

The optional material that can be used to bed the Delrin may lie between the Delrin and the keel box WITHOUT ANY FAIRING.
